I'M ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELL
>>
Time for Pypa to issue new order n 227

1. Military councils of the fronts and first of all front commanders should:

a) Unconditionally eliminate retreat moods in the truck drivers and with a firm hand bar propaganda that we can and should move logistics further east, and that such retreat will cause no harm;
b) Unconditionally remove from their posts and send to the High Command for court-martial those army commanders who have allowed unauthorized truck driver withdrawals from occupied positions, without the order of the Front command.
c) Form within each Front from one up to three (depending on the situation) penal battalions (800 persons) where truck drivers of all service arms who have been guilty of a breach of discipline due to cowardice or bewilderment will be sent, and put them on more difficult sectors of the front to give them an opportunity to redeem by blood their crimes against the Motherland.

I think I can explain it.... It looks like he's trying to remove something at like 6 seconds in? Was he removing wires trying to prevent it going off?

Russia's commercial aviation industry has had its jet fuel supply cut by 1/3 relatively recently.

Downshift to slow down, don't hit the brakes too hard.
DO NOT jump out while the vehicle iis still moving, because that will result in the burning vehicle/fuel tank rolling past you while you may be on the ground from the fall.
Bring the vehicle to a stop, pull the parkinig brake, grab fire extinguisher (vehicle should have one in the cab if it is a fuel tanker), get out and get away.
If it's a trailer and you are suicidally brave, disonnect the trailer and get the truck away.

The keep driving thing. . .well, if possible, stop the vehicle away from buildings and trees.
People have tried driving towards the fire department, whih is brave but really the firefighters can't save the vehicle either way.
And I don't think there is a fire departmont on that highway.

FWIW, most roads in civilized European countries should be built with a slight curvature towards the sides, just to make sure rainwater flows off.
So as long as you park towards the side of the road, teh burning fuel SHOULD flow that way, not towards the drivers side, and then along the side of the roaod into a ditch/gutter etc. that shoould also be there to stop the road from getting flooded by said rain.

But that road is Russian built, so who knows.

No. This wasn't about Indian/African shills (paid or otherwise) and weird brown white-supremacist race-schizos.

I hope you're meming to not know about the history between stormfront and 4chan.
There was a time when nazism on 4chan was purely ironic and it attracted the wrong sort who took it seriously.
picrel was funny to oldfags because it was offensive humour, not because we gave a shit about the austrian retard.
Of course, some percentage of them, even then, may have been early IRA/Glavset agitprop agents but I think the bulk were essentially a new generation of klan types who would have followed David Duke if it weren't then known that he was a fed informer.
The FSB connections were probably at the leadership level in any case.

Nonsense.

These are civilians who are leaving Ukrainian clay, Ukraine will let them go.
Ukraine also has neither fire control or air supremacy over the territory, so would be limited to a few drone strikes.
If they could blast things at will in the Kerch straight, there probably wouldn't be any locomotives left at all.

Some of those have kept their head down for years and are looking forward to liberation. Others simply don't care, remember Kursk where half the locals just didn't give a shit and started learning the new anthem? Apathy in your subjects is a two-edged sword.

>you don't want to open the door and be engulfed in flames from that room, or not to feed the fire oxygen?
nta, but basically this
under certain conditions, a fire in a closed room might burn most of the oxygen available, but still have all of the other conditions (temperature and fuel) to develop massively. If you open the door to such a room, you'll probably be hit by what's known as a backdraft. The previously oxygen-starved fire is suddenly fed tons of oxygen, the entire room self-ignites, and you're standing in the only way all of those hot gases have to exit the room.
There's some ways to identify such rooms, such as the color of the smoke, or the way the air and smoke behave next to the entrances to said room.
>>
>>65273279
the other anon is right, thats the danger with opening doors
If you do find yourself in a burning house, check doors by touching them before you open, if there is an oxygen starved fire in the room the door will be hot (hotter than expected for a door in a burning building)

im thinking, there are many dominoes lined up right now, the slightest movement could create a big problem for russia

see yesterday i was watching a video from SoloFonseca, is an spanish youtuber, very knowledgeable guy, and he basically said the economy situation in russia is very delicate, they may be forced to implement economic measures to avoid a bank run, he compared it to the "corralito" in argentina back in 2001

now, to start a bank run, you simply need one bank to be unable give a customer their money, it becomes a chain reaction from there

given the grave situation in which crimea finds itself in, what if a huge chunk of the 2.4 million inhabitants there try to get their money out of the bank to survive without a regular source of income, or to try and pay for their way out of the peninsula?

can the crimean banks deal with 1 million people all wanting to get their money out at the same time? what if they cant? will there be riots? what if the rest of russia see that and try to get their money out too?

they are in quite the predicament, russia somehow needs to solve the logistic problem in crimea and the south of Ukraine, they need to increase recruitment to cope with losses, they need to somehow finance the war now that their warchest is near empty and their refineries are on fire and they need to avoid a bank run

and basically any action to avoid one of these problems, increases the likelihood of every other taking place, general mobilization will finish off the economy, moving people to convoy duty will deepen manpower issues at the front, trying to replicate a "corralito" will cause mass unrest and force resources out of the front and into internal security, and so on

This deserves a thread. If Ukrainian weapons have really interdicted supplies to Crimea so completely that it is without fuel and water, it is a giga happening that is underreported. Notwithstanding what it tells us about the operational effects of shaping operations with drones, it is a humanitarian catastrophe waiting in the wings that I am eager to learn more about.
>>
>>65273322
Unfortunately, I think Russia can easily clamp down on a bank run and disorder in Crimea. They already some capital controls in place for personal bank accounts and can easily clamp down harder.

But the main thing is, Russia doesn't care if their people in Crimea are suffering. They're stuck in there so riots can't spread. Plus, they'll blame Ukraine for the people there starving

sure they can suppress riots in crimea, the real problem is the bank run, if crimeans cant retrieve their cash, the people of novorossiysk may think they wont be able to retrieve their cash either, triggering another bank run, and so on

it spreads, with bank runs you dont want to be the last sucker who didnt manage to get their cash in time and lost everything

Several regions are already doing publicly documented dry runs and the kremlin has put out a press release that discuss these dry runs I believe. The Ukies also apparently have people either inside the Kremlin or know people that talk about it and these informents end up telling the Ukrainians. There's also the factor that its an open secret that the Russians also need to do another round of mobilization or else their front lines will start to collapse due to severe manpower shortages

Those old Soviet electric locomotives are certainly pieces of engineering.

Finland bought some 25 kV AC units from the USSR during the Cold War. Quite a bit of effort went into making them fit for human use over the years.
Originally, the things howled with a sound somewhere between a siren and a wolf when in use due to the horribly inefficient rectifiers and the 40 kW blower fans blasting air through the electrics to keep them from burning. I think they replaced them with western semiconductor parts at some point, which shrunk them to 1/4 of the original size and reduced the heat problems significantly.
The ergonomics were also jank as fuck, with weird spring-loaded guillotine windows, heaters with no comfy setting that could melt your boots and burn your feet, and gauges and switches just put whereever they were the easiest to wire. The all-steel cabin was also so noisy that the drivers couldn't hear anything.
Coupling the things was also quite a procedure. Wonder how many people were injured doing that over the years.

You touch them with the back of your hand, otherwise you may well lose the use of your hand to a burn and thus be unable to escape. If it's more than warm, you need to find another exit. A house being on fire doesn't mean every room is on fire. You generally should not try to escape through a room that has been on fire long enough and intensely enough to make a door handle outside of it hot, unless there are no other options, whether the room is oxygen starved or not. This seems like common sense to me, but a lot of things that seem like common sense are really just things you were taught early and internalised as sensible while young, so idk.

If you're a Russian strategist, how do you even get out of this situation? The only thing I can think of is to drum up a couple hundred thousand men somehow and go for one final push in the hopes of diverting attention away from the south.

The only real advice is to build a massive style Surovikin line across the front and massively invest in middle strike drones to outrange ukraine. Build advanced layered drone defense including things like bullfrog auto turrets, lasers microwaves and interceptors. You save a ton of man power you can use to further develop and have an edge over any country not actively developing drones in a war zone. Make an analog of the powered JDAM and precision strike all the fortifications Ukraine have

It's a solid fuel rocket, so there would be some bang and it would make a mess but solid rocket fuel motors are designed to be on fire for a while and direct that fire.
Adding additional improvised engine nozzles to the rocket would create some chaotic movement on and around the ground and make a big mess but it wouldn't explode like a bomb.
Do you remember that Chechnyan petrol station where a tank ignited and rolled past the person filming at high speed?
Something like that probably.

Not if the design is as retarded as what the bongs were doing in the 1950...

See: Orange Herald, which contained around 7 critical masses of highly enriched uranium, and had multiple single points of failure, any one of which could result in a multi-kiloton fission detonation.
This wasn't an experimental one-off, they put this monstrosity of a warhead into limited production and actual service.
Highlights of this weapon's short service history include: Bombs unconventionally arming themselves with the ground crews being unsure or unable to disarm them again. And the bombs being built with improvised electrical systems being cobbeled together from commercially sourced British motorcycle parts.

None of this is a joke or an exaggeration.

I too, lived blissfully under the illusion that implosion-type nuclear weapons relied on a bunch of explosive lenses detonating with perfect timing. That this would make unintentional nuclear detonation a possibility so statistically remote as to be practically impossible.
The bongs proved me wrong to a horrifying degree.

If the god-awful electrical system malfunctioned, a nuclear detonation could result.
If the bomb caught fire, a nuclear detonation could result.
If the bomb was impacted hard enough, a nuclear detonation could result.
If the big rubber plug in the bottom of the bomb holding in the safety mechanism (thousands of ball bearings) fell out, the bomb was armed, and a nuclear detonation could result.
If the plane carrying the bomb was struck by lighting, a nuclear detonation could result.
If the plane carrying the bomb crashed, a nuclear detonation could result.
If the bomb had to be jettisoned, a nuclear detonation could result.
If a discharge of static electricity hit the bomb, a nuclear detonation could result.
etc, etc

It was honestly a minor miracle that the bongs didn't accidentally nuke themselves back in the 1950s.
Their bombs were that fucking terrible, unreliable, and unsafe.
Their nuclear weapons make the Windscale piles look safe and perfectly reasonable from a nuclear engineering perspective, and these reactors were built with practically zero safety measures before they even understood what they were even building or how nuclear reactors really worked.

>Is there no thought that Transnistria could be given to Ukraine
Of course not, it's literally Moldovan clay.
Moldova's constitution (written by the Kremlin) also forbids foreign troops on their soil, so in theory Ukraine isn't even allowed to help.

Ukraine isn't very interested in getting physical there for various reasons though they definitely would be capable of expelling the Russians.

The ziggers who are the problem though, would be/are Moldovan citizens. Moldova can't expel them and since Moldova is so small, their effect on elections would be larger than you'd like.
You want another corrupt zigger President in the EU?

And if Ukraine gets too aggressive about ziggers on Moldovan clay, it would push some segment of Moldovan boomers towards supporting zigger candidates who'd be all like:
>we'll stand up to those Hohhols who want to conquer us and who killed our brothers and/or stole their land and made them refugees

Moldova has a communist party who do may day parades etc, they're not huge but they're larger than you'd like. The last election was also a close thing and required judicial intervention.

The slow siege strategy that Moldova and Ukraine are cooperating with right now is working, it's just slow. That's for the best really, there's no need to rush this and it gets easier when Russia is weakened by the war or even defeat.

It's makes a little bit of sense when you remember that the Brits gave all their research to the Americans under a deal that the Americans would also share theirs, which the Americans broke. So the Brits had half the research, very little money post war and realised that they needed nukes if they wanted to stay even vaguely relevant in the coming cold war. IIRC they also made the single largest pure fission bomb (could almost be classed as a dirty bomb), and it worried the Americans so much that they finally gave them the tech for H-bombs.

That's the bomb we're talking about here.
And the more one learns about it, the more it looks like the yanks started sharing intel with the bongs out of pity, rather than respect.
It was, without question, the WORST atomic bomb every built by anyone in history.
Even the highly questionable devices cobbled together by south-africa/israel, on a shoestring budget, while under heavy sanctions, was immeasurably superior to the British abomination.

>>65274374
The south-african government basically outsourced the whole thing to a private company, who in collaboration with government entities and the nation of Israel, managed to build about two dozen gun-type Uranium bombs.
These bombs were kinda crappy, but they worked. And they had significant safety improvements over similar weapons like the American Little Boy bomb.
Interestingly, the design of the south-african bombs meant that their blast yields would be fairly limited, but they would output an absolute fuck-ton of neutron radiation.
So they were among the few neutron bombs ever built, which may not have been intentional
Regadless, these things may not have been able to wipe entire cities from the map in an instant, but thanks to the aforementioned intense neutron radiation, they were theoretically able to wipe out entire armored divisions by frying them alive, straight through the armor of their tanks.
>>
>>65274387
No, the French were doing their own thing.
They had minimal involvement with the south africans.

>>65273903
Nuclear weapons are so insanely difficult to set off that you can literally detonate a bomb on top of one and all it would do is spread nuclear material everywhere. Same thing as C4, which needs a simultaneous electrical and mechanical pressure impulse from specialized detonators to go boom.

>Standard-gauge not being standard across all of Eurasia offends my autism.

Standard gauge is too small for the modern world, had germany won world war 2 Europe would be covered by ultra wide gauge railroads with passenger cars looking like mississippi river boats on rails. Standard gauge was originally derived from the width between the wheels on a roman ox cart. The earliest railroads lacked locomotives, the rail wagons were pulled by horses, which could pull far more than usual in this setup compared to regular road transport so when railroads were introduced they were just pathways for evolved horse carts.

Narrow gauge railroads came about because they were cheaper to make, the cost in these days was primarily in getting men and horses to build the railroad bed out of locally sourced materials.

Sunk investment costs and a disinterest in unconventional solutions to an old transport system is what is holding railroads back.

Because Britain was post-WW2 and literally did not have enough food to feed everybody? What kind of retarded point are you trying to make. Building a bomb is really far down on the list, especially when they came up with the idea in the first place.

Also Castle Bravo is functionally the worst atomic weapon ever built because a design flaw caused its yield to exceed predictions by 275%. That is objectively the worst one because if you can't get it right, then you're fucking retarded.

>Standard gauge was originally derived from the width between the wheels on a roman ox cart
ackshyually the romans had nothing to do with it
standard gauge originated from the stockton & darlington railway, which used the same gauge as local coal mines' horse drawn networks (slightly widened so the wheels wouldn't pinch as easily in corners) so that they could pull the wagons straight from the mines to the stockton harbor without having to transfer all the coal to different wagons
horse-drawn railway gauges were never standardized and varied by region, but there's apparently a general trend of being around this same width within a few inches, presumably because it's just the optimum size for the beasts to pull; ancient wagons might have therefore been of similar size but that doesn't mean that george stephenson was going around trying to find any surviving examples to measure

Thankfully this will never happen again. Ukrainians had to live through americans either providing them scraps that they could only use every second full moon no closer than 70 football fields to the nearest russian DNA while doing a triple backflip, or not giving anything at all while demanding to be paid for the privilege of providing nothing.
Last year of Biden's admin they were already getting fucking fed up with the long range strike limitations and started working on domestic solutions. At this point thankfully the USA has basically no leverage over Ukraine and it can do whatever the fuck it pleases with ziggers
And just to be clear retrospectively the limp-wristed Democrats were a godsent compared to what Trump & Co. have to offer. Can you imagine if they were in charge in 2022, when ukraine was at its most vulnerable?

>>
>>65275585
What is going on with the small bits in the and the dark blue blob UK and Ireland?
>>
>>65275593
>but WHY
Historical reasons.
When they set up the system (around 1912) they found that 50 Hz caused loads of arcing at the pantograph, and so they went to just one phase of the usual 50 Hz, 3 phase.

To be absolutely clear, for the past 35 years or so the onboard solid state equipment of the locomotives makes the whole question a moot point, and for years before that dual system locomotives were common to make cross-border services possible.

Which is to say that many modern electric locomotives in Europe are 'tri-system' and can operate in 3 kV DC, 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC.
It's literally cheaper to build them that way than to retrofit the whole rail electrification.
>>

>>
>>65275639
>they found that 50 Hz caused loads of arcing at the pantograph, and so they went to just one phase of the usual 50 Hz, 3 phase.
Sounds reasonable. Three phase peak voltage is higher than its RMS voltage which is what you also get from one phase.

But you don't magically get one third of the frequency if you take only one of the three 50 Hz wires. You would need additional equipment to convert from 50 Hz or use 16 Hz power generators in the first place.
>>
>>65275662
>unless its for the rail line that goes to Europe through the Channel Tunnel
No, that uses 25 kV 50 Hz..
That area just usses 750 V DC (wikipedia has a couple of pics, it reall is a 3rd rail system like many subwaays use).

Regarding that map, there are many trams and subways etc. that are not shown.
>>
>>65275667
They used (and in places, still use today) big motor-generator sets to turn the 50 Hz AC from the general net into the 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC for railway use.
Today they mostly use cycloinverters (I think that is the correct term)

Their reasoning was that this would alllow them to spread the load while drawing power from the net at known points consistently.
And in the very early days it also meant the nets were not directly linked, which was viewed as a safety factor.
15 kV was chosen because it was considred 'safer' than 25 kV.

Sounds quaint today.
>>
>>65275688
Today or past, the reasoning isn't sound... Oh well, different circumstances and all that.
I'm just happy to see electrical engineers in my country were smarter than that.

>>65275585
...OK, now I understand how that subject can give railway autists aneurysms. It makes me curious about things I'm not sure I want to know.
>>
>>65275708
There were other considerations, such as remaining a seperate network from existing electricity suppliers.
And when this was developed, they were pretty much doing research while building. There was no existinig AC railway system to look at AFAIK.

Also, the agreement to use 15 kV at 16 2/3 Hz was signed in 1912.
Before there was a unified railway system in Germany, and before the first main line was electrified.
After reading through the wiki article it sounds like they spent ten years finding out what didn't work, and then went with 'we have a bunch of big electrical companies telling us this should work let's do it'
